A brilliant Documentary film followed by stimulating debate. participants in the debate include :
Aidan Delgado, Former Soldier at Abu Ghraib prison
Janis Karpinski, Former Brigadier General in charge of Abu Ghraib prison
Sherene Razack, Author, Dark Threats and White Knights
Chris Hedges, Author, War Is A Force That Gives Us Meaning
Barbara Coloroso, Author, Just Because It's Not Wrong Doesn't Make It Right

"Wherever you land in the debate afterwards, the film will challenge you to ask yourself what you would do if you were put in a situation where enormous moral courage was required to avert horrific acts. And in keeping with The Big Picture's perpetual focus on solutions, we'll also grapple with how we educate people to give them the moral strength to step up, or speak out, when life and death are on the line."

Some Details
THE DOC
Why would four young men watch their friend die, when they could have intervened to save him? Why would a woman obey phone commands from a stranger to strip-search an innocent employee? What makes ordinary people perpetrate extraordinary abuses, like the events at Abu Ghraib?

Answers to these contemporary questions can be found in past social psychology experiments. The Milgram obedience experiment shocked the world by proving that most people were willing to kill fellow human beings if an authority figure was held accountable. A famous diffusion-of-responsibility experiment sought to understand why 38 people who witnessed a brutal murder in New York did nothing to help. Finally, the Stanford Prison experiment showed how the world of the jail could transform a decent, moral person into a brutal, sadistic guard.

Documentarian Alex Gibney (Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room) revisits these three famous behavioral studies to explore some perennial questions about why human beings commit unethical acts under particular social conditions. After seeing this film, you may never say "bad apples" again.

THE TALK
Avi Lewis: "When the infamous Abu Ghraib photos first came out, I had a wicked case of déja vu. We had seen gruesome trophy photos of soldiers posing with tortured corpses before: Canadian soldiers in the Somalia Affair of 1993. Watching Alex Gibney's latest film, I realized that this pattern keeps repeating. We put ordinary people in what are called "atrocity-producing situations", and they are capable of things they would never have thought possible. But there is also a fierce debate about just how much the situation - or the system - determines our actions, and how much individual personalities are to blame.

This is a critical debate in a time of war. From the My Lai massacre in Vietnam to the slaughter of civilians by U.S. troops in Haditha, Iraq, to the uncertain fate faced by prisoners captured by Canadian troops in Afghanistan, this topic is begging for deeper discussion. Wherever you land in the debate afterwards, the film will challenge you to ask yourself what you would do if you were put in a situation where enormous moral courage was required to avert horrific acts. And in keeping with The Big Picture's perpetual focus on solutions, we'll also grapple with how we educate people to give them the moral strength to step up, or speak out, when life and death are on the line."

Hey people, this is a thoroughly interesting show. This had me and the wifey (I don't really call her that) talking about it for ages.
Gives you a whole different perspective on the way you judge people too quickly for their apparent decisions in abnormal situations...wow.

Cheers Fa, You star.

Posted By: Fa Date: 23 Jun 2007 22:53:17

Did you redownload both of those parts?
They are all double checked before uploading.
Also, can you try the Rar REPAIR too?
Each file has a 3% recovery record which is usually plenty to fix any CRC errors...
I don't think part 8 and 15 are corrupt on both filehosts!
I will download them and come back!

Posted By: Fa Date: 23 Jun 2007 23:03:23

OK mate so part 8 from rapidshare is fine. Not corrupt.
I suspect you got a corruption during download as it happens. I have to do repair on rar files quite a lot with all the downloads from here
and everywhere.
Winrar always gives you that same error and makes it look like a password error. The password is correct and the files are all fine ok.
If you need advice to use winrar repair file just post here ok.

Cheers,
Fa

Hi Fa.

Just repaied the file and it works fine......cheers Fa.

Posted By: Fa Date: 24 Jun 2007 05:55:10

That is great news mate.
I forgot to include the information in my post about the RAR files having a recovery record included!
Oh well...glad you got it. now you can enjoy the film!

Cheers,
Fa

can you give information HOW to recover?
I also got errors on 8th and 15th parts, but I don't know how ;)

Posted By: synapsedkb Date: 24 Jun 2007 18:19:56

I found #8 to be bad as well. To fix:

Open winrar and select 'open_source_soft_dvd.part08.rar'
You will need the password (as above)
Then open Tools > Repair Archive
It will ask for a place to put the repaired archive
Click OK
delete the original 'open_source_soft_dvd.part08.rar'
rename 'fixed.open_source_soft_dvd.part08.rar' to
'open_source_soft_dvd.part08.rar'
Extract entire archive as usual.

BTW #15 is not bad, it's just that you get the final 'file corrupt' error at the end of the extraction and the last file is #15.

Luck.

synapsedkb, thank you very much :)

Posted By: Fa Date: 24 Jun 2007 18:50:25

Glad to see you are getting the files fixed OK folks.
Strange but I never usually use the recovery record thing..this is the first time I did and coincidence? It is the first time it is required!

Cheers,
Fa

Thanks for the movie, I also have the problem with the files, but "repair file" was the solution.

Thanks again for sharing great titles.
